1 Claim.

This invention relates to spraying devices used for bathing and likepurposes.

A special object of the invention is to provide means for supporting thespray head and water 5 supply hose at any point along an uprightsurface. A further feature is in the provision of means for attachingthe support to those of variant sizes.

Another purpose is to provide a spray support and means associatedtherewith, whereby the spray head may be directed angularly outward withrespect to the hose at any preferred inclination.

Finally, to provide a spray head support, adapted to be applied at anyconvenient place all without the use of tools or special appliances.

These advantageous objects are accomplished by the novel constructionand combination of few and simple parts hereinafter described andillustrated in the accompanying drawing; constituting a materialcomponent of this disclosure, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of an em-,

conventional bath tub is designated by the numeral 15, adjacent to anupright wall l6, through which extends a water supply pipe "having adown-turned end 18 terminating usually with a coarse pitch screw thread.

Engaged with the pipe outlet I8 is an enlarged sleeve 20 formed on theend of a flexible hose 2|,

and removed in easy and expeditious manner,

1936, Serial No. 90,681

(Cl. 248) I that is spaced parallel with the wall [6, curved outwardlyat its opposite raised end portion 22 and connected with a spray head23, these several elements being of well known types.

Loosely encircling the upper part of the hose, and its curved portion22, is a wire coil 25, and engaged by one of the coils is a perforatedlug 26 extending axially outward from the convex side of a suction cup21 of rubber or the like, capable of being firmly pressed and flattenedagainst a surface, as the wall it, and strongly adhering thereto,sufficiently to support the hose and its spray head.

The modifications shown in Figures 9 and 10 disclose. a suction cup '35having on its outer side a projection 36 containing an opening 3!through which the coil 25 may be passed and adjusted therealong, thethickness of the projection being preferably sufiicient to embraceseveral of the supportcoils.

It is to be observed, that the coil 25 is adapted to retain the curvedshape given the hose 22, in addition to acting as a connection with thesupporting suction cup, which obviously can be applied to any convenientupright wall.

.Although the foregoing is descriptive of the best known embodiments ofthe invention, it will be understood, that such minor changes may beresorted to, as may come within the scope of the appended claim, withoutdeparture from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desiredto be secured by Letters Patent, is:

, A support for a spray head having'a flexible 7 tube connectedcentrally with the head and comprising a wire loosely coiled helicallyaround the tube at the portion adjacent the head, said coils beingwidely spaced and curved arcuately in conformity with the tube, aflexible suction support and a lug extending from said support having anopening to adjustably engage the coiled wire at any point along itslength.
